OT: MacBookPro advice needed.

If buying new, always check out the Apple Refurb Store at
(For the UK)

You can save several hundred pounds and you still get the full warranty etc.

I saved 300 UK pounds on a MacBook Pro 17" (last model) which I am 
really impressed with - the new ones must be quite something!
